Thanks for the article
It's my experience that the "senior execs" or "Board" are the very users that bring the most sense of entitlement to IT/IS.  You know, she wants her email address to just be Renee*AT*megacorp.com, he wants to use his Mac or iPad that isn't supported or get this... A CEO at a major, global corporation that requested thier spouse (not an employee) be given remote access and Outlook email delegation from a non-company asset.  That truely happened, AND that company has regulated messaging!  Digital communications subject to SEC 17a-4.

It really puts our technology and security practitioners between the hammer and the anvil when senior leaders demand unsupported and/or non-compliant configurations.  It represents audit jeopardy and lowers the security posture of the firm.  The Board will be the most resistant users to 'security overhead' such as the Checklist and the target on their CISO's back enlarges.

Improving Enterprise Cybersecurity With XDR
Enterprises are looking at eXtended Detection and Response technologies to improve their abilities to detect, and respond to, threats. While endpoint detection and response is not new to enterprise security, organizations have to improve network visibility, expand data collection and expand threat hunting capabilites if they want their XDR deployments to succeed. This issue of Tech Insights also includes: a market overview for XDR from Omdia, questions to ask before deploying XDR, and an XDR primer.
